Add collapsible device nodes, cable bundling, and aggregated edges

Canvas devices can now collapse to a compact per-direction-group view; when collapsed, cables between the same two devices of the same type merge into one dashed "virtual" edge with a ×N marker so a busy rig doesn't turn into a wall of parallel lines. Adds CableBundle so several real Connections (a stereo RCA pair, a snake's channels) can be grouped and bought as one BOM line while keeping each leg's own family-checked cable type intact.
